This is by way of a sign off note on this issue.
Based on (my understanding of) Fred Bone's suggestion that it may be old
prices that were causing the problem I deleted all the old prices in the
pricing database and, as already noted, the problem went away - ie I was
getting a correct current valuation of my Airbus holdings.
However, still wondering if it may be the existence of some manually
entered prices was causing the problem I reverted to the original
accounts and started further investigations. And discovered it WAS a
manually entered price that was causing the problem. It was me what had
screwed up!
At some point, somehow I had managed to enter a price for Airbus shares
in GBPs (I've no idea how; when adding a price manually the price is
automatically set in Euros, I must have worked extra hard to make this
mistake!). I removed just that one price and everything works as expected.
My apologies to Fred and Maf for wasting their time. And thanks for the
support. Without that I suspect I would not have kept investigating. I
now know a lot more about organising accounts, buying shares in
"foreign" currencies and pricing.
So, sorry and thanks guys.
(And if Maf is a lady, a further apology.)
